mezuron

Mezuron is a rare to moderate in fragrance intensity perfume concentration containing fragrance oils. This concentration is usually around 10-20% essential oils, which is higher than the standard eau de toilette and eau de parfum concentrations, but lower than the intense concentrations of parfums and extrait de parfums.

Mezurons are often designed to provide a balanced fragrance experience, offering a good combination of longevity, sillage, and overall scent strength. They tend to last longer on the skin than eau de toilettes and eau de parfums, while still being more subtle and less overwhelming than parfums or extrait de parfums.

The origin of the term "mezuron" does not appear to be well-documented, making it difficult to pinpoint its exact derivation and evolution over time. Some sources attribute its use to specific manufacturers, while others suggest that it is a general term used to describe a particular type of perfume concentration. The development and marketing of mezurons are, however, thought to be closely tied to the broader fragrance landscape of the early 20th century, during which European and American perfume houses competed in creating luxury perfumes for discerning consumers.

Industry insiders and fragrance enthusiasts have noted that mezurons are relatively rare, often achieved through careful blending of essential oils to balance strength, longevity, and fragrance profile, making them sought after for those looking for a refined and elegant perfume experience.
